New Rolling Stones!?!?!? Foreign Tongues

The Rolling Stones have released another album... and honestly, we didn't see that coming.

In this episode of Judged by the Cover, Josh and Phil take a closer look at Foreign Tongues, discussing everything from its bold painted cover art to the band's unmistakable blues-driven sound. We explore why artists in their 80s are still creating compelling work, the value of recording live, and how imperfections can make both music and art feel more human.

We also talk about the incredible artist behind the album cover, the surprising list of guest musicians, and why we think physical media, including CDs, may be on the verge of another comeback.

Plus, we officially launch our new Record of the Month Club and reveal the first album we'll be listening to together.
